I'd like to think Larry Flynt was joking to illustrate the absurdity of the situation, but he's exactly right. Once you start bailing people out, what's to stop everyone else asking for some. Banks, then highly inefficient manufacturers... why not the porn industry? Why not the junk mail industry? Why are some industries favoured over others? Why penalise healthy, well-run companies by propping up their badly-run competitors? Seems stupidity knows no bounds...
